Raised in the pure air and deep-layer water of the Aso foothills — a Kumamoto brand pork where the sweetness of the fat shines brilliantly.
Ekoreton is a brand pork carefully raised at a farm surrounded by deep forest at the foot of Aso Mountain, in Ozu Town, Kikuchi District, Kumamoto Prefecture. Managed by Farm Yoshida Co., Ltd. — one of the representative brand porks of Kumamoto, handled by a long-established pig farm that has maintained the single aspiration of ‘making truly delicious pork’ for over half a century. The key points of the environment where Ekoreton grows are the clean barns and clear natural water pumped from 180 meters underground. By generously providing mineral-rich groundwater to drink — excess elements are washed away from within the pig’s body, creating a clean, clear meat quality. A designated compound feed uniquely formulated centered on corn is used for the feed — devised so that unnecessary off-odor is suppressed while the inherent umami and sweetness of pork is drawn out. The greatest appeal of Ekoreton is the deliciousness of its fat. The fat — without off-odor, with a sweetness that melts in the mouth — once eaten, is an unforgettable flavor. The lean is finely-grained and moist — whichever cut is prepared, from loin to belly to leg, the character of the ingredient is firmly felt. Even simply grilling brings out the umami vividly — surely enriching the daily table greatly. Farm HACCP and JGAP also obtained — safe, reliable production management is also in place. By handling everything from rearing through sales consistently — delivered to consumers while maintaining freshness and quality. Ekoreton — shipped after the devoted rearing period of 180 days of age. Please do savor this premium pork nurtured by Kumamoto’s great nature.
